Next big advancement in consumer 3D printing:
Dual Independent Extruders (IDEX) on CoreXY.
Much faster than filament switchers or tool changers, with the added option of dual simultaneous printing.
I'm excited to see the Rat Rig V-Core team pull this off.
The Pixel Pump handheld pick-and-place tool by @robin1337 sets the gold standard for crowdsourced, open-source hardware projects I've seen lately
Everything from the hardware to the packaging to the CrowdSupply supporter updates have been first-rate.
Fun feature in AutoDesk Fusion 360:
3D textures for materials like wood: Wood rings and grain stay consistent and realistic across 3D shapes.
Nice effect for woodworking projects.
Intel's new Xeon MAX 9480 has 64GB of high-speed RAM packaged next to the cores.
Four large squares in the center are CPU cores (14-cores each)
Four rectangles on the outside are HMB2e RAM (16GB each)
Interestingly, it can boot and run a full OS without any extra DIMMs installed!
External RAM will operate in a tiered fashion.
ScanOfTheMonth
produces excellent analysis of CT scans of interesting objects.
This month: coffee making equipment.
Fascinating to see the quality different between an old Moka pot (left) and a new model with low-quality porous casting (right)
It's wild that we can literally look at molecules using atomic force microscopy.
It's especially satisfying when the resulting images look like their structural formulas.
@carnage4life It will be interesting to see if AirBnB can get away with the excessive fees for much longer.
AirBnB is already falling out of favor with early adopters and they're trying to get ahead of the narrative.
But obviously the lack of competition is what let it get this bad in the first place.
